FDL’S BOOK SALON:The Great Dissent: How Oliver Wendell Holmes Changed His Mind–and Changed the History of Free Speech in America. “No right seems more fundamental to American public life than freedom of speech. Yet well into the twentieth century, that freedom was still an unfulfilled promise, with Americans regularly imprisoned merely for speaking out against government policies. Indeed, free speech as we know it comes less from the First Amendment than from a most unexpected source: Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. A lifelong skeptic, he disdained all individual rights, including the right to express one’s political views. But in 1919, it was Holmes who wrote a dissenting opinion that would become the canonical affirmation of free speech in the United States.” Chat with Thomas J. Healy about his new book, bmaz hosts. 5pm ET, 2pm PT.

Good morning, pups. This morning we have The Pasty Little Putz, Dowd and Friedman. Mr. Bruni and Mr. Kristof are off today. The Pasty Little Putz thinks he can tell us all about “A Different Kind of Division.” He gurgles on about how racial politics have changed since the March on Washington. I’m sure Putzy must be a real expert on the subject. After all, he’s white and was born 16 years after the March on Washington… In “Reindeer Games” MoDo takes a look at a fake Santa who seeks a real impeachment. It’s probably only because of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, but MoDo has actually called the President Barack instead of Barry or Bambi. The Moustache of Wisdom considers “Foreign Policy by Whisper and Nudge.” He says in Egypt and the broader Middle East, the United States can only do so much without the support of the people.

The coffee, tea and cold drinks are ready, and I’ve got French toast made with challah this morning. I’ve also got some gorgeous raspberries and slices of cantaloup, so put some fruit on your plate too. Since someone where I used to work is a real bozo I’ve been drowned in work that I should have gotten a week or two ago but they neglected to give me, so I’m off to bash away at that. Have a great day.

Well, it’s because black folks can only speak about black issues of course. White people, no matter how stupid (like the Pasty Little Putz) are, by virtue of the color of their skin, authorities on anything they want to open their pie holes about.

Once upon a time there were “Field Negroes” and “House Negroes”, today, the House Negroes are the only one’s who can speak for the “Field Negroes”, and they speak for “Corporate Man”; consequently any statement in regard to what African Americans have to say is erroneous.

thanks, Marion, that ‘without the support of the people’ assumes we can reach around the folks we work with with their collusion and let the people know we’re having to work with the folks they have in charge but hey, we’re not really part of the decision making process and wish they had other sorts to work with. Like to see the mustache work out how to do that, his cabdriver no doubt is working on it.

Good morning everyone. Beautiful day in the neighborhood from here on my screened porch “in the woods.” Good day to avoid the nuts on my teevee (Kornacki excepted, will watch later online). Meanwhile the squirrels have begun their annual “throw nuts on the deck” ritual. Wish they could throw the nuts in Washington on a hard surface.

The MSM (and its masters) can point to their “coverage” of the March On Washington (an assuredly toothless commemorative event as presented. There are no REAL social issues to address – even as Enron, BOA, Citigroup, Countrywide, AIG, et al, crashed the economy for erstwhile Middle Class Whites and Blacks.) and say, “See, we do reporting for the commoners all the time!”

Meanwhile, Archie Bunker Fox News Rednecks can scoff at the pitiful black people (with no right to complain, after all! – all they want are free handouts).

Cognitive Dissonance. In spite of his own similar circumstances, Archie doesn’t realize that he is in the same boat with the blacks (whom he loathes).

The success of Raygun’s synthetic ideology was separating its adherents from their own interests, so that they thought by voting against themselves they avoided the stigma artificially attached to getting the social services they paid for.

Indeed. In a generation, 50 percent of us are still true believers in the Reagan doctrine and the R’s and D’s are still peddling it – even after the economic disaster it wrought. Reagan Libraries, Schools, Roads, kids named Reagan…(a waitress informed me that her son “named his daughter Reagan – after his favorite president”).

Any case, Hillary and Obama love Reagan, too.

There’s a youtube video of early Limbaugh getting roundly booed by his audience. We’ve come a long way for Limbaugh to become adored.

The grounds the Dems use for honoring Raygun, however, are his powers of persuasion. As in the Rethug use of FDR. The results of Raygun’s use of his power is glossed over – and that we’d all be better off without the economic disasters wrought by ideological followers.

Didn’t make it, RB. I have mixed emotions about the march (too many opportunists latching onto it, although it did deal with issues like Trayvon Martin) and probably would have gone to the library if I went downtown. But as it turns out I’m a bit under the weather this weekend.

It’s already been stated that MLK’s dream has turned into a nightmare, and that’s exactly what it is. Barack Obama is the personification of Robin Hood in reverse; he took our money and gave it to Wall Street and the banks, he even tried to raid our social security trust fund, his endless wars have enriched the military industrial complex, and now he wants to spy on every last one of us to make sure we all stay in line. I ask you a very important question, is Barack Obama doing all of this, or is he just a paid glove with a hand in it?

How did he get included in the commemoration of the March on Washington?
